JACKSONVILLE - The pro
posed restoration of the central
area of Jacksonville is a unique
project and it. poses some
unique problems. V
This appears to be the con
sensus of two representatives of
the federal government's Urban
Renewal Administration who
are here looking over the com
munity this week.
The visitors are Norman Wal
ters, engineer, and John Bald
win, code specialist, both of
whom - are based at the San
Francisco regional office of
the U.S. Housing and Home Fi
nance Agency, of which the Ur
ban Renewal Administration is
a part. ..
Make Preliminary Study '
They are here making a pre
liminary study in connection
with Jacksonville's application
for a $41,086 federal grant to fi
nance a year-long study of the
cost and feasibility of restoring
the central area of the city.
When interviewed Wednesday,
the two seemed intrigued by
Jacksonville and its possibili
ties, but expressed concern
over some basic problems the
project faces.
The preservation of Jackson
ville is a project that is unique
in the whole western United
States, they indicated. Because
of this fact, a somewhat origi
nal set of standards may have
to be set up for it.
Most urban renewal projects
involve the demolition of old
buildings, Walters explained,
while in the case of Jackson
ville it is proposed to restore
old buildings, many of which
fall short of modern building
standards, A determination will
have to be made as to what
building standards in the restor
ation project would be realistic.
- In Better Condition
The two men said the appear
ance of the masonry along Cali
fornia Street was "dishearten
ing" when they first laid eyes
on it, but added they had found
upon investigation that the
foundation structures of many
of the building; "are in a much
better condition than we had
expected."
"Many of the buildings will
take a little shoring up under
neath," Walters said, "but that
would be a minor expense."
A few of the buildings in the
core area, however, "are about
as far gone as they could be
without collapsing," Baldwin
noted.
. One problem that concerns
both men is what to do about
earthquakes. It's something
that can't be ignored, they in
dicated, but on the other hand
it would be difficult to make the
buildings earthquake proof.
"This will require a policy
decision higher up," Baldwin
said.
Walters and Baldwin expect
to remain here through Friday.

House Plan
By HIAWATHA ESTES
With very little effort, one
can plan a well designed home
for a wide lot. However, as the
width of the lot decreases, it
becomes increasingly difficult
to include all the features
which are most desired by to-'
day's builders. This Is especially
true when a larger home is re
quired. This particular plan can be
constructed on a lot of fifty
feet or less In width and also
offers most of the advantages
usually only available in much
wider homes.
The prime requirement of a
well-designed home today is a
center hall. There is direct ac
cess from the entry to both the
living and dining rooms. From
the entry, one hall leads to the
kitchen and family room while
another short hall serves all the
rooms in the bedroom wing.
Kitchen-Family Room
The kitchen-famiiy room is a
place where your family and
friends can gather for fun in a
charming setting, a feature of
your home that you will always
be proud of and enjoy. A cor
ner kitchen nook is surrounded
by windows. Note the wide pan
try which adds to the already
ample storage space. Only a bar
separate the kitchen and fam
ily room. The fireplace has been
located in this room as it will
be used and enjoyed more in
this informal family living area.
Sliding glass doors open to the
secluded patio.
All bedrooms are generous in
size and will accomodate twin
beds. The luxurious master bed
room suite consists of a large
bedroom, a dressing room with
wardrobes along two walls plus
a dressing table and a private
hath. This bath as well as the
family bath offers a pullman
lavatory and a partially con
cealed water closet.
A wide view toward the street
is available from bo'.h the liv
ing and dining rooms through
the large corner windows.
A distinctive feature of the
handsome contemporary exter
ior is the roofed porch leading
to the Iront entry.
